Board grants 2 extensions

Thursday

The Bartlesville Redevelopment Trust Authority met for just over an hour Wednesday, as there were just two business items to deal with on the agenda.

The meeting occurred at 3:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at Bartlesville City Hall, 401 S. Johnstone.

The BRTA Board of Trustees approved two extensions for existing residential environmental remediation and code compliance grants in the amount of $5,000 each. Grants from the organization are only paid when all work has been completed.

One project, located in the 700 block of SW Dewey Avenue, was previously approved in 2015. BRTA Residential Consultant Carol Ervin said the family has made great strides in rehabilitating the property, and only new stairs to the porch and new front columns are left to be completed. The BRTA Board approved a final extension until July 22 for the project to be completed.

The other project, located in the 900 block of SW Jennings Ave., also received a final extension until Aug. 31. Ervin said the project is a complete inside and out renovation from a duplex to a single-family home. The grant funds from the BRTA provides for some of the exterior work.

Board members also heard from BRTA Executive Director Chris Wilson, who reported several projects, including the Memorial Hospital project and the former downtown Methodist Church projects, are progressing.

The next BRTA Board of Trustees regular meeting is scheduled for Feb. 22.
